Charles Russell Leonard died on Monday, Nov. 23, 1908. Notice of his funeral was printed in The Journal (Groton, New York) on November 25, 1908, and a "card" of thanks was published on December 2, 1908, by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wells and Mrs. Chas. Leonard. It took a long time to find this obituary, simply because Charles' name was abbreviated as "Chas." and it doesn't offer much information. A more interesting notice was published the following week. "A Card...to thank neighbors and friends for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of Charles Leonard". It was signed "Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wells" and "Mrs. Chas. Leonard". It seems safe to assume "Mrs. Chas. Leonard" is referring to Luella, his second wife, who he was living with in Groton in 1905, but who were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wells and how were they involved? A search for men named Charles Wells in the Groton area in 1908 produced two matches and another possible connection in Pompey: Charles E. Wells in Groton in 1900. He was married to Ina Legg, but he died in 1904, prior to this notice being published. Charles Hyde Wells who was born in Pompey, Onondaga County, New York, abt. 1839. He was counted on the census in Pompey until 1880. [FamilySearch] In 1865 there was a "Boarder" named John Leonard, age 26, living in the Wells home in Pompey. He was formerly in the Army. [FamilySearch] John married George & Charlotte Nearing's daughter, Elizabeth, before 1871. They lived in Pompey when the 1875 census was taken and had two children - Lee Leonard, age 3 yrs 9 mos, and Arthur Leonard, age 1 yr 5 mos. (Census date June 22, 1875). Both children were born in Onondaga County. [FamilySearch] On the 1892, 1900, 1905, 1910, and 1920 censuses Charles Wells was living in Cortland, where he died on June 30, 1922. His wife's name was Lydia L. Wells. Her obituary claims she was born in Pompey, Onondaga County, on Aug. 8, 1840. The closest matches in Pompey in 1850 were: Lydia L. Haskins (b. 1844), Lydia A. Marsh (b. 1836), and Lydia L. Rice (b. 1837). Charles & Lydia Wells had five children in their home: Amelia (Wells) Dunn, William H. Wells, John Wells, Eugene Charles Wells, and Nellie E. (Wells) Wood. I spent a few days sorting through the paper trails hoping to find a connection, to no avail. Following is a summary of what I found and shared on Charles Hyde Wells' Wikitree.

He married Elizabeth Charlotte Nearing, daughter of Elzada's brother George A. Nearing and and Charlotte Horton. Elzada was the mother of Charles Wells, so John Leonard married a first cousin of Charles Wells. On the 1900 census, for his father's birthplace, Massachusetts was given, and for his mother, New York. However, according to his profile on FamilySearch, he was born abt. 1843 and was a son of Henry J. Leonard & Phebe ___. Henry was born in Albany County, New York, in 1816, and died in West Monroe, Oswego, New York, in 1816. Henry's father was Johannes Leonard & Rachel Albright. They were married in Bethlehem, Albany, New York, in 1802. Johannes's father was a German immigrant, born abt. 1739, who died in Bethlehem, Albany, New York, between 1805 and 1809. (FamilySearch KZR7-SMK). More research must be done to determine his true lineage. Regarding the question of whether or not John could have possibly been a brother of Charles Leonard, the answer is no IF Charles' father, Russel Leonard, truly disappeared in 1833. John wasn't born until 1839. They may have been cousins, though.

Capturing a person’s likeness has fascinated people for centuries. Before photography, one popular way to preserve an image was through silhouettes. In colonial times, these simple yet elegant profiles became a cherished form of portraiture. They offered a quick, affordable way to capture a person’s features using just shadows and skilled hands. This blog explores how colonial silhouettes were created, their cultural significance, and how you can bring a piece of this history into your home with a unique digital download product. What Are Colonial Silhouettes? Colonial silhouettes are profile portraits made by cutting black paper or painting black ink to create a sharp outline of a person’s face and upper body. Unlike detailed paintings or drawings, silhouettes focus on the outline and shape rather than intricate facial features. This style became popular in the 18th century, especially in America and Europe, as a way to capture a likeness quickly and affordably. Silhouettes were often used for family keepsakes, gifts, or even as a form of identification. They provided a striking contrast between the dark profile and the light background, making the subject instantly recognizable by their unique shape. How Colonial Silhouettes Were Made Creating a silhouette required skill and precision. Here’s a step-by-step look at how colonial artists captured these shadowy portraits: 1. Positioning the Subject The sitter would be positioned sideways, usually in profile, so the artist could clearly see the outline of their face, nose, lips, chin, and sometimes the shoulders. The profile view was essential because it offered the most distinctive shape of a person’s features. 2. Casting a Shadow A common technique involved using a candle or lamp to cast the sitter’s shadow onto a white surface such as paper or a wall. The artist would then trace the shadow’s outline with a pencil or charcoal. This method ensured an accurate and natural profile shape. 3. Cutting or Painting the Silhouette After tracing, the artist would either: Cut the profile out of black paper with scissors, creating a sharp, clean edge. Paint the profile directly onto paper or ivory using black ink or paint. Cut paper silhouettes were especially popular because they could be mounted on contrasting backgrounds and framed easily. 4. Adding Details While silhouettes were mostly about the outline, some artists added subtle details like hairstyles, collars, or hats to give more personality to the portrait. These small touches helped identify the sitter and added charm to the artwork. 5. Framing and Display Once complete, silhouettes were often framed in small oval or rectangular frames. They were displayed in homes as treasured mementos or given as gifts to loved ones. Why Silhouettes Were Popular in Colonial Times Several factors made silhouettes a favored art form during the colonial period: Affordability: Unlike painted portraits that required expensive materials and long sittings, silhouettes were quick and inexpensive. Speed: Artists could create a silhouette in minutes, making it accessible to more people. Simplicity: The bold contrast and minimal detail made silhouettes visually striking and easy to recognize. Portability: Silhouettes were small and lightweight, easy to send or carry. Cultural Appeal: The style fit well with colonial aesthetics that valued modesty and practicality. Examples of Colonial Silhouettes Many colonial families treasured silhouette portraits as family heirlooms. For example, a silhouette of a young woman might show her distinctive bonnet and hairstyle, while a man’s profile could highlight a prominent nose or chin. These portraits captured not just physical features but also a sense of personality and status. One famous example is the silhouette portraits of George Washington, which helped popularize the art form in America. These portraits were widely copied and admired for their simplicity and elegance.

Let's take a moment and recognize how fortunate we are to be anticipating America's 250th (Semiquincentennial) in 2026. The celebrations have already begun! Check america250.org for a full list of events scheduled. The Smithsonian is also hosting events to commemorate the anniversary. A must see online exhibition can also be found on their website here. It's a good time to brush up on your knowledge of the American Revolution! Here's what you need to know: The American Revolution (1775–1783) was a series of military and political struggles through which thirteen British colonies in North America won independence and became the United States. It began as a colonial protest against taxation and imperial control but evolved into a global conflict involving Britain, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. The war unfolded in several phases—New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern campaigns—each marked by dramatic reversals of fortune. The opening clashes at Lexington and Concord in April 1775 ignited the war, as colonial militias confronted British troops near Boston. The bloody Battle of Bunker Hill soon followed, proving that the inexperienced colonists could stand against the world’s most powerful army. In 1776, George Washington’s daring victories at Trenton and Princeton revived American morale after the loss of New York. The turning point came in 1777 at Saratoga, where an entire British army surrendered, persuading France to ally with the Americans. The war shifted south in its final years. Despite early British successes in Georgia and the Carolinas, guerrilla warfare led by partisans like Francis Marion wore down royal forces. Washington’s and Rochambeau’s combined armies trapped General Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781, forcing his surrender and effectively ending the conflict. Sporadic fighting and negotiation continued until the Treaty of Paris was signed, on September 3, 1783, officially ending the war. Below is a list of all the major (and some minor) battles of the American Revolution. These are just a fraction of the hundreds of skirmishes and engagements that were part of America's fight for independence. Choose a link to watch a short video about any battle.
